Does no body relax at home with a glass of wine, some chocolate, a good book or a movie any more? Almost every week there's a new advert for some half price sale (or at least hugely slashed prices) on sofas.
Now, this can really only mean one of two things. Either some Larry in the sales department seriously undervalues the amount of work which goes into a beautifully crafted setee, or people nationwide have decided to stop buying furniture. It's the minimalist, feng shui look, right? Walk into any home in the country and you will be greeted with open arms, a cup of tea, and a cardboard box to sit on.
Perhaps because every one is now wading through deep and relentless waves of debt, comfortable seating just isn't high up on the list. When there are mortages, fast cars, fancy holidays, clothes, shoes and hair-dos, why would anyone pay full price for a sofa?!
Well I say farewell day-spa, farewell working overtime, and hello long nights curled up on a comfy sofa with a cuppa and a thoroughly good novel! Ahh yes the idyll begins.....
